Are you willing to trade off the plastic of the case with the liner notes for the cost of a new folder? I have seen some CD mailers that would hold the disk and notebook, but I don't think they'd take that much less space and they're not cheap. At least, not at Office Depot where they sell them a few at a time. Maybe you can find an online stationer who sells them cheaper.

I found one of those large 300 CD changers and have printed out the instructions, but even if I fill it with my CDs, I plan to keep the cases, notes, etc. I need to somehow number the cases so I can find them if I want to read up on the disks playing in the changer.
